Monster Energy Supercross 2 Review (PS4)

[JMD]

They mentioned on facebook that they are working on tweaking the way the bikes corner which is great. I'm still struggling with the 450's in the turns.

Anyone here running races on Xbox One? I'm down if you are.

Darn it.

Kudos to Bob’s review... He got me to buy this game.

First time playing any MX type game since Excite Bike.

I gotta give props to those who have mastered the handling. This game is hard but not impossible. I have worked my way up to Medium AI difficulty on Normal handling settings and Semi-Automatic on everything else. I did try Realistic mode but it’s too frustrating and I’m too impatient to try to breach the learning curve necessary to be competitive against the AI.

The most satisfying part of this game is getting into rhythm - it’s freaking awesome when you hit a complete lap without mistakes.

What I find annoying is the in-stadium announcer - he just rambles random stuff. Wish they would have just added an option to turn him off. Also, the frame-rate on the XB1 (X) doesn’t hit 60ps and it’s noticeable. I’ve gotten used to it but it would have been sweet if they would have locked it at 60.

Online is a hot mess if you join a room with collisions turned on. There’s no lobby options so you are forced to join random Quick Races. The competition is really good. I’m satisfied with finishing in the top 5-10 right now.

I’ve also started a Championship season in the 250s and I’m having a blast. I’m sitting in 4th place in the standings after 5 races. I’m tempted to dial up the AI difficulty but I’ll do that after the mid-way point of the season. You can’t adjust the difficulty once you start!

I’ve started watching the real races with a renewed interest now!

You can change the difficulty during the season. Before you hit "Start Race" scroll down to race options and it will let you change it.
